As incredible as it sounds, for the better part of two decades the University of North Texas campus has been home to more than 3,000,000 bees. Living in colonies in a brick wall of the school’s Radio, TV and Film building, the bees – some of which have become aggressive in recent years – threatened thousands of students who walked on nearby sidewalks. For people allergic to bees, a sting can be a serious medical issue.
The legal concept of premise liability makes the owner of a property – such as the University of North Texas – responsible for any harm that befalls guests on the property. In the case of North Texas’s 3 million bees, anyone injured by bee stings probably would have a viable legal claim against UNT and its decision to host the injury-causing insects.
